If you’re not a meat eater and still enjoy a hearty sandwich at lunch (or dinner),
you’re in luck.
A very popular website has come up with recipes for sandwiches that use
legumes, cheese, and tofu as the main sources of protein.
Plus, the following sandwich recipes are also fiber-free, egg-free,
high protein and high calcium and contain at least 15 grams of protein.

So, if you’re a vegetarian for years or just enjoy a meatless sandwich
every now and then, here’s a recipe for a meatless sandwich to help
you along.
